Thomas was groomed.

            Lots of news about Supreme Court Justice and his couptress wife Ginni benefiting from extravagant gifts from Neo Republican Fascist funding billionaires Harlan and Kathy Crow.[1]  Not a big deal according to Neo-Republican Fascists.  They were just good friends doing what good friends do.  The interesting part though is that the Crows didn’t become BFFs until AFTER Thomas became one of the Supremes in 1991.[2] 

            How does one go about doing that?  You know, becomes besties with a billionaire.  Do billionaires just have a normal routine of calling up Supremes and say, “Hey!  I like you!  Let’s be best buds!  Want to have lunch?  Want to go to camp together?  Get treated to island-hopping on a yacht?  Fly around in my private jet? 

            I don’t want to be all jaded about how the BILLIONAIRE just happened to have a Supreme boy toy.  Perhaps they just looked at each other from across the crowed room, their eyes met and they just knew they were soul mates.  Maybe Thomas was dressed in such a way as to be … you know … asking for it. 

            Some rascal could have set Thomas up with an ad in the personals.

Newly elected Supreme Court Justice in search of a sugar daddy.

“I prefer the RV parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. There’s something normal to me about it.  I come from regular stock, and I prefer that — I prefer being around that.”[3]

References needed.

That’s it!  They probably met at a tailgate party at the Walmart parking lot where billionaires, other judges, corporate executives, conservatives and other fascists hang out.  I’m not sure where that parking lot is but will keep looking. 

There’s one thing I do know for sure.

Soros was behind it.

High and mighty

            Oooooo, it turns out that Supreme Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginny have been groomed for years by billionaire real estate magnate and Republican donor Harlan Crow.[1]  Just one trip to Indonesia in 2019 funded by the billionaire would have cost $500,000 since a yacht and plane were involved.

Kill gays.  It’s the law.

            Evangelicals have been really busy in Africa spreading the gospel about gays.  Uganda made it a crime punishable by death.[2]  Evangelicals use the same code words there as they do here.  That they’re pedophiles grooming children.

MAGAs China Partnership.

            Are conservatives really that hostile to China?  Utah isn’t.  Utah loves them some Chinese government and Grandpa Xi.[3]  So do Jared and Ivanka Kushner, to the tune of a few hundred million.[4]  Missouri sold a lot of land to the Chinese, owned primarily by Smithfield Foods that they also bought.[5]  Dang!  I like their sausage too!  It’s only 46,000 acres that the Chinese own so not a big deal depending upon how one views that many acres.  BTW this when conservatives line up to support capitalism.  Overall, in the United States 384,000 acres are owned by the Chinese.[6]

Abortion trafficking

            Ever heard of that?  It’s a new law that MAGA fascists have come up with in Idaho.[7]  Soon it’ll be turning up at other Red states.  It makes it illegal to assist a minor that needs access to abortion care in another state.  It will be a crime punishable by 2 – 5 years in prison.  Red states are going to need to get busy building more prisons in order to hold all the people that they want to throw in jail.  Remember that for MAGA fascists Democrats are pedophiles.[8]  Yes, you read that correctly.

~~~

Stochastic terrorism

            The above title is another new term that I’ve heard recently.  What does it mean?  Here’s a quote from the article:  “Dehumanizing and vilifying a person or group of people can provoke what scholars and law enforcement officials call stochastic terrorism, in which ideologically driven hate speech increases the likelihood that people will violently and unpredictably attack the targets of vicious claims.”[9] 

            The problem in today’s culture wars is that the same definitions and phrases are being used by all the sides involved.  So it comes down to actions like what happened on January 6th that are taking place along with all the suppressive laws that are being enacted.  Encouraging people to take up arms against the government is another example.  That’s also happening all over the nation.
